I'm asking this question again in hopes that some one might have the solution.
In Hal 5 internet options we can select that Hal notify us of Pop3 email. I haven't been able to get this option to work yet. I've setup the acct. for Hal, but this function does work. Does anyone have a pluggin or a solution to getting Hal to notify me of incoming mail? Unfortunately Hal6 does not offer this option.
